Cystic fibrosis, also known as mucoviscidosis, is a genetically inherited, chronic disease and is progressive in nature. The onset of cystic fibrosis typically occurs in early childhood or, rarely, at birth. The primary symptoms of cystic fibrosis include breathing difficulties, high salt content in the sweat, and secretion of abnormally viscous mucus. The principal indicators of cystic fibrosis in patients are pancreatic insufficiency, pancreatitis, chronic bronchitis, adolescent diabetes, male sterility, and very rarely liver cirrhosis or intestinal obstruction. The most usual forms of cystic fibrosis are those with respiratory complications, difficulties related to digestion, and anomalies in height and growth. The mortality and morbidity of a patient are dependent on the degree of bronchopulmonary involvement.

Windows in aircraft passenger cabins are smaller in size to maximize the areas of the hull between them and to increase the mechanical strength of the airframe. From a technical point of view, an aircraft fuselage would be much stronger if it could completely remove cut-outs for windows and windshields. In the 1970s, there were incidents in several De Havilland Comets (UK-built commercial jet aircraft), where large windows caused issues with integrating the windows to the aircraft. Furthermore, commercial jet airliners are pressurized, which creates a strain on the hull. There are also chances of metal fatigue in the areas between windows which, in extreme cases, can lead to failure of the metal. Due to this, cargo aircraft fuselage designs are mostly windowless.
